Downers Grove

Downers Grove is one of DuPage County’s most historically significant communities — platted in 1832, with a vibrant downtown that has remained genuinely lively rather than fading into a collection of for-lease signs. The older neighborhoods near the Metra BNSF station include Victorian-era homes, craftsman bungalows, and early 20th-century two-stories with the character and the plumbing challenges that come with that age bracket. Lead service lines and galvanized supply pipes are not uncommon in the pre-war sections of town.


The Scottish Plumber approaches Downers Grove’s older homes with the care they deserve. We start with a sewer camera inspection to establish what’s actually happening before recommending any work, carry out precise drain cleaning or sewer repair as conditions dictate, and handle full repiping of lead and galvanized supply lines. For the newer subdivisions on Downers Grove’s edges, we service and replace water heaters and sump systems that are reaching the end of their design life.


When you call us about a backed-up or slow sewer, our first move is to rod and clear the line — get things flowing and your home back to normal. Sewer rodding starts at just $99 when there’s an outside cleanout to rod from, a price we’ve held since we opened in 2006. While nearly everything else has gotten more expensive, our starting price hasn’t moved in nearly twenty years. Once the line is open, we follow up with a sewer video inspection to see exactly what caused the problem — tree roots, a crack, a pipe belly — and give you an honest picture of what, if anything, needs to happen next.


We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — including holidays — so when something goes wrong at 2 a.m., you can reach us. We offer free estimates during regular business hours with no trip charge to come out. Most companies charge just to show up; we don’t. When a sewer line needs more than rodding, The Scottish Plumber is one of the most experienced trenchless sewer repair companies in Chicagoland — doing this since 2006 with thousands of repairs completed across the area. For older homes especially, pipe stent repair is worth knowing about: a precise, minimally invasive fix that spares your floors, walls, and landscaping.
